- [00:00:08.610]Welcome to our sit-part of the class.
- [00:00:10.897]Unwind and relax.
- [00:00:14.010]For this part of the class, you might will need
- [00:00:16.830]couple of blankets, maybe a pillow.
- [00:00:20.330]So anything that, or if you have a bolster,
- [00:00:23.370]anything you feel comfortable for resting pose.
- [00:00:26.200]But before you do the resting pose,
- [00:00:28.720]we'll slowly come down on our yoga mats.
- [00:00:31.850]We'll do some postures down on our yoga mats,
- [00:00:34.470]and then we will do a resting pose.
- [00:00:37.090]Shavasana.
- [00:00:38.800]So, sitting nice and tall but knees are bent.
- [00:00:41.500]Make sure that you have enough space
- [00:00:42.930]behind of you on your yoga mat.
- [00:00:44.720]Have your arms extending alongside of your legs.
- [00:00:47.280]Slowly wander to be about one roll down on the yoga mat.
- [00:00:55.720]Good and then when you have your back down,
- [00:00:59.430]when you have your head down, bring your knees to the chest.
- [00:01:02.150]One knee to the chest, another knee to the chest.
- [00:01:05.190]Then give them a giant hug.
- [00:01:07.240]If you roll back down on the mat,
- [00:01:09.790]roll side to side if it feels good in your body.
- [00:01:13.930]Massaging your back after this good practice.
- [00:01:17.200]Massaging your back.
- [00:01:21.070]Good and the next thing, your left leg on your yoga mat.
- [00:01:25.430]Whoops.
- [00:01:27.600]And then you still have your right knee bent.
- [00:01:30.090]Bring your right knee across the chest to the left side.
- [00:01:33.040]We'll do a climbing twist.
- [00:01:35.050]And then slide your right arm to the t-shape
- [00:01:37.950]with your right palm facing up.
- [00:01:40.830]So here, if you have a block,
- [00:01:42.400]you're welcome to slide the block
- [00:01:43.770]underneath of your bended knee for support.
- [00:01:47.970]But you don't have to.
- [00:01:49.540]Rest your left hand on the side of your right knee
- [00:01:52.800]so with every breath out,
- [00:01:54.330]you can press on the side of your right leg,
- [00:01:57.610]on the side of your right knee, and twist a little deeper.
- [00:02:02.020]Then you can also gently close your eyes
- [00:02:04.390]and turn your face to the right side.
- [00:02:08.640]Few breaths here.
- [00:02:10.670]Feel your whole body's getting soft and relaxed.
- [00:02:16.230]Slowing down your breath.
- [00:02:19.120]Maybe do yoga breath, breathing into your mouth
- [00:02:21.950]and then breathing out through the nose.
- [00:02:26.570]Feeling right shoulder touching the yoga mat.
- [00:02:30.300]If you feel your right shoulder coming up,
- [00:02:34.350]maybe untwist a little so you have your
- [00:02:36.363]both shoulders grounded.
- [00:02:39.630]Shorter breaths here.
- [00:02:49.040]Good, let's untwist.
- [00:02:50.230]Bring your right knee back to the center.
- [00:02:53.120]Extend your right leg up.

- [00:03:54.740]If you press here, okay, if you need this block,
- [00:03:57.500]underneath your bended knee, slide the block.
- [00:04:06.340]When you stay in this reclining twist,
- [00:04:08.680]you're welcome to have your knee away from your chest,
- [00:04:11.380]or you can press your knee toward the chest.
- [00:04:13.610]Just notice what is going on in your body.
- [00:04:16.570]Depending where your leg is here.

- [00:05:40.740]on top of your left knee or left thigh
- [00:05:43.860]for number four pose.

- [00:07:12.920]Everything is good here.
- [00:07:23.710]Let's release.
- [00:07:25.900]Rest your feet on the side of your yoga mat.
- [00:07:28.610]Arms in a t-shape.

- [00:08:02.890]and then have your arms inside of your knees,
- [00:08:05.090]and then grab the pinky-side of the feet or grab your ankle,
- [00:08:09.490]whatever you can reach for here.

- [00:08:24.220]For good hip opener pose,
- [00:08:27.240]keep your lumbar spine again here down.
- [00:08:30.020]And again, if you like, you can roll side to side
- [00:08:33.329]to add one more massage of your back.
- [00:08:41.220]You can continue doing this movement
- [00:08:42.960]or you can grab the big big toes here
- [00:08:45.930]and extend your one knee.
- [00:08:49.050]Extend your another knee.
- [00:08:52.030]Repeat if it feels good in your body.
- [00:08:58.457]And then we are going to release one foot down,
- [00:09:01.835]another foot down.
- [00:09:03.860]And then we will do the inversion.
- [00:09:09.110]And for inversion we will do just calf palms.
- [00:09:11.850]So, you'll take it easy,
- [00:09:13.110]slide your palms underneath of your hips here.
- [00:09:16.420]And then lift your right leg up.
- [00:09:17.930]Lift your leg up.

- [00:09:52.043]Good, let's do a couple more.
- [00:09:57.640]And then we are going to release one foot down,
- [00:10:00.070]another foot down.

- [00:10:56.480]Slide your legs a little wider,
- [00:10:58.130]closer to the edges of the mat.
- [00:11:01.710]And then you have your arms extended
